India will attempt to keep the proposed Goods & Services Tax ( GST ) rate as moderate as possible and the government will push for passage of the bill introducing the levy in the upcoming monsoon session of Parliament, finance minister Arun Jaitley said.

According to the Constitution (122nd Amendment) Bill, the GST Council consisting of finance minister, minister of state for revenue and state finance ministers will recommend the tax rate. 

"At what rate the GST Council will start it, I don't know...there have been recommendations which have been made by expert committees, including the one that the ministry of finance had set up.
